第五卷 天云十二州 第一千一百零二章 林轩的港湾

"Oh! Mei'er nodded, which made her feel more at ease. After walking for another quarter hour, Lin Xuan finally saw a pavilion. The structure was ancient and built from bamboo."

"Of course, unlike the common green bamboo, this sword bamboo was much harder than steel. Better quality ones could even be used to refine treasures. Outside the pavilion, there was a layer of light screen that was quite thick but would prevent most prying eyes," Xiao Qing spread her hands, and an jade token slid down from her sleeve.

"Raise your left hand slightly; a green light will emit from it. Then the light screen will flicker, revealing a passage about a yard wide." With these words, Lin Xuan entered the pavilion with Xiao Qing following behind him. "Senior, are you satisfied?"

The girl's expression was respectful as she asked. "Not bad."

Lin Xuan nodded. The place was secluded and the structure of the pavilion was also excellent; it would be an ideal resting spot.

"By the way, do you have any further instructions?" Xiao Qing blushed slightly but bravely puffed out her chest.

Life is about fighting for what one desires. She never thought she'd catch the eye of a Core Formation Immortal, but even if she had to serve as a cauldron, there were still many benefits. At least, base foundation cultivation wouldn't be an issue.

Unfortunately, Lin Xuan wasn't a lecher. He sighed and raised his hand, sending out a beam of light. The girl's face showed shock before she fainted with a thud.

"Master, are you really going to..."

"Hush, I'm not that kind of person," Lin Xuan said irritably.

"Haha, my lady is just joking. I know; you're planning on erasing her memories."

"Exactly."

Lin Xuan sighed at the unconscious girl and decided he could give her some crystals as compensation later. He then cast a spell to erase her memories with his hands crossed in a seal.

After making sure everything was ready, Lin Xuan placed the girl on a bed in one of the guest rooms before leaving the pavilion and looking at the light screen ahead. With a wave of his sleeve, several array flags flew out.

"Pain!"

With a single finger from Lin Xuan, the array flags turned into shadows and evenly spread around the pavilion. Lin Xuan nodded contentedly; although it was unlikely that the main committee in Xuan Yuan City would tamper with this, using his own array flags was better. He then flashed to the second floor of the pavilion.

There were training rooms here, bright and spacious. Although it was nighttime, a small pearl the size of a fist hung in the center of the room, emitting soft light. "Master, what are you planning?" Mei'er's voice echoed.

"Didn't I just tell you to prepare bathwater for me?"

"Bathwater? Oh, Xuan Yin Ming Liquid," Mei'er said, covering her mouth as she laughed softly.

"I'll go to sleep first; training requires rest and recovery. Master, please call me when it's time." With that, Mei'er yawned and lay down on the bed. "This girl!"

Lin Xuan was at a loss for words. In the past, Mei'er would have stayed with him, but since their heartfelt confession of love, although they acted as usual, there seemed to be some changes.

She had gone to sleep while he prepared her bathwater.

Lin Xuan scratched his head and looked troubled. He didn't know that Mei'er was not asleep; she opened one eye and peeked out, then pouted unhappily: "Master is such a blockhead. I wanted you to comfort me. When refining the Xuan Yin Ming Liquid, I hoped you would stay by my side. Stupid, don't you understand?"

Girls always love sweet words, and Mei'er was no exception.

Lin Xuan didn't think much of it and sat cross-legged on a mat, beginning to rest and recover his strength. He had not engaged in any physical combat during the day, so his energy was sufficient. A few minutes later, he had fully recovered.

He then waved his sleeve and an ancient-looking cauldron flew out. It was adorned with carvings of dragons, indicating its high quality; it must be the Purple Dragon Cauldron.

Lin Xuan sighed as he looked at the precious item in front of him. He had received this cauldron from Qinxin to treat Taixiang True Man, but now his beloved was in danger. From tomorrow on, he would need to think about how to detoxify her. Although it wouldn't be dangerous for a year, being poisoned by the Heavenly Spider Parasite could be extremely painful.

He shook his head and waved his sleeve again, summoning a tray filled with various medicinal ingredients needed for refining Xuan Yin Ming Liquid. The method of refining this liquid was quite different from ordinary pills; one solid, the other liquid. Lin Xuan flipped his wrist to reveal an jade tube, sinking his spirit into it.

Inside the jade tube were detailed instructions on the formula and process for refining Xuan Yin Ming Liquid. Lin Xuan read each word carefully, ensuring no mistakes would be made. He had little natural talent in alchemy but could use the Blue Star Sea's purification if he failed.

Over these two hundred years, he had refined countless elixirs, and practice makes perfect. His alchemical skills were far beyond those of ordinary alchemists.

The process for refining Xuan Yin Ming Liquid was relatively simple; it was not much harder than refining base foundation cultivation pills.

Relieved, Lin Xuan continued his work. He needed water, but he had forgotten to get some. It wasn't his fault since he hadn't used water when refining other elixirs from the Spirit Formation stage to Core Formation stage. The ingredients usually contained enough moisture for general use. But now, he was preparing a liquid; how could there be no water?

Just as Lin Xuan was about to retrieve it, he noticed something. Mei'er seemed to be sleeping, but her eyes were moving beneath her eyelids. Could she...

Although Lin Xuan still had some woodenness in his heart, after Mei'er's confession, he was much better than before.

"Mei'er, I forgot the water. Can you go get it for me?" "Sure!"

The girl opened her eyes and said: "Master, I'll fetch it right away."

For Mei'er, being able to do something with Lin Xuan meant happiness. Seeing her figure disappear, Lin Xuan smiled, then appeared calm.

In this chaotic world of the mortal realm, in this heartless cultivation world, she was his harbor. With Mei'er by his side, he felt good!

Soon, Mei'er returned with water. She secretly glanced at the young man beside her before flying back to her sleeve. Lin Xuan's voice came: "Mei'er, stay here and accompany me."

"Okay."

At first, Mei'er was surprised but then nodded vigorously, snuggling up to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan looked at the girl in his arms; as she had no body, their closeness did not affect his alchemy. He added water to the cauldron and opened his mouth, emitting a baby fire.

With a whoosh, the fire enveloped the cauldron. Under the light, Mei'er appeared more beautiful and adorable. Lin Xuan focused on refining the Xuan Yin Ming Liquid.
